Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Delmarva Review is an independent, nonprofit literary journal dedicated to the discovery and publication of compelling new fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction from emerging and established writers. Editors welcome literary submissions from all authors writing in English, regardless of residence. We publish a print edition annually. We also produce an electronic edition to meet other reader preferences. Both editions are available worldwide through Amazon.com and other major online booksellers.
Accepts Unsolicited Submissions

Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
The cover letter should be very brief providing the essential information to contact the writer. We ask for a brief bio in addition to the cover letter, but acceptance is based of the skill of the writing.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
We seek skillful, evocative writing that that will connect emotionally and intellectually with most readers on more than one level, now and in the future.
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
1. Consider sending your best work.
2. Pay close attention to the guidelines.
3. Edit your work or have a skilled editor proof your work before submitting to avoid basic errors that could diminish consideration of the content of your writing.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
- One of our featured published writers had written a novel that he was trying to have published for ten years with no success, and he was discovered by an independent publisher who published his novel.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
The ideal reader is one who appreciates reading well-written work and good literature. While the audience for literary publications is often other writers, editors, and teachers, we hope to reach the discerning readers who seek good writing to enjoy.
